3CX Mobile Device Manager-Control & secure your smartphone

3CX Mobile Device Manager : Since smartphones started getting more and more smarter, the risks and complications associated with the use of them also increased drastically. Today, smartphones are acting as the center of all personal and business communications. Business people have started using mobile devices for storing, sharing and even processing confidential data. Even if you are using your mobile device solely for personal use, there is a lot of private information on the device that you don’t want to lose, or gotten into the wrong hands. The risks associated with a lost smartphone are far more dangerous than you can imagine. In this scenario, it becomes a necessity to have the power to manage your smartphone or tablet over the air. That would mean a service that can manage your device even if it’s not physically with you or got stolen. I personally used many such services and to be honest, they all let me down.

Recently, I stumbled upon a service called 3CX Mobile Device Manager. It has a lot of features that I couldn’t find in similar services that I have used. The whole thing literally works like a charm. And the best part is, you don’t even need to have an internet connection on your device to perform certain important tasks like changing the password or locking the device. All you have to do is install their client application on your iOS or Android device. I’ll sum up everything you need to know about 3CX mobile device manager below.

3CX Mobile Device Manager: What is it?

3CX Mobile Device Manager is a hosted mobile device management service. It let’s you have full control over your mobile device with important data protection, tracking and much more. Businesses can secure their devices, monitor the usage and movement of them and manage apps and data on all the connected devices. It has a user friendly online dashboard where you manage your mobile device.

What can you use it for:

Secure your data

With all the confidential information that mobile devices handle now, you simply cannot afford to lose your data to someone who might misuse it. Many surveys have shown that $8 million worth of mobile devices go missing everyday. So, that explains the severity of the loss, but the loss of data cannot be counted in money. 3CX Mobile Device Manager uses google maps on their online dashboard to help you recover them. It is simply the most intuitive thing I noted about their service. With this , you can locate and recover the device. It is also possible to lock or wipe all the data on the device remotely to prevent unauthorized use. One of the great features is that it works without an internet connection.

Manage Apps on Android Connected Devices

3CX Mobile Device Manager gives you complete control over your apps, it let’s you see the apps installed on each of your devices. If in case you find an unwanted app, it’s easy to have it uninstalled from the device. There is also a feature that let’s you deploy apps remotely to any number of connected devices simultaneously. This would save a lot of time since you would have to manually do it to each android device without this feature. Private apps such as betas or corporate apps need
not to be uploaded to play store or any other public marketplaces first.

Detect Malware-Infected Apps and Remove Them Remotely

Malwares are on the rise, nowadays you can’t install an app without being super-careful. Still they manage to get in despite of all the safe practices you follow.
